Thursday, April 30, 2009

Well ladies and gentlemen, today marks the last day of April. It seems like just yesterday that we were all eager to get the baseball season underway, but time flies when it's baseball seaso

With that said, some players are off to a fantastic start so far this season. While the results may look somewhat skewed right now, it's interesting to take a look at which players are producing for their clubs early on. Then again, come September, some of these numbers might seem ridiculous as players inevitably come down to Earth or struggle to maintain their current place.

I have assembled a roster of the 2009 April All Stars. While I expect some of these guys to be producting 2-3 months from now, it's obvious that some of these guys are playing out of their minds right now.

And for clarity, I am focusing on the national league today and the American League tomorrow.

Without further ado, here are your National League studs for April.

2009 April NL All Stars

C- Benjie Molina, GiantsBenjie Molina hit a triple last night...this is not a joke.For that reason alone (plus his production), Molina makes this roster over Yadier.

1B- Albert Pujols, Cardinals"The Machine" is off to a ridiculous start with 7 HR, 26 RBI, and only 7 strikeouts

2B-Chase Utley, PhilliesFully recovered from hip surgery and off to a flying start (.342, 7 HR, 20 RBI, .461 OBP). Lots of good choices to choose from at 2b.

RP-Ryan Franklin, CardinalsI think it's safe to say that the Jason Motte closer experiment is over in St. Louis...Franklin is 7-7 is save opportunities, which has prevented Tony La Russa's mental health from deteriorating because of the bullpen.

I think it's more about how Motte handled the role in addition to the results. It looked as though Motte was having a difficult time handling the pressure. The results have proven this so. As a middle reliever, Motte has been fantastic so far.

Maybe later in the year Motte will move back into the role, but moving him out of the role in April was the right move.
